SALUTATION. 



My dear Friend : 

I ' am pleased to present to you a system of 
Shorthand known as The New Revised Edition of 
" Hall's ' Multum in Parvo ' Phonography," a system 
of Shorthand rendered so easy and simple that any 
one of ordinary understanding can easily and quickly 
master it. 

Three months' application is sufficient time for 
one to become a rapid writer by inculcating the prin- 
ciples as set forth herein. 

This new system differs from the old methods 
of Shorthand in point of simplicity, brevity, and 
accuracy. It is based upon brief yet simple prin- 
ciples of phonetic writing, and not upon arbitrary 
word-signs, which require months and even years to 
master. By the omission of word-signs, position, and 



6 NEW REVISED EDITION OF HALL'S " MULTUM IN PARVO " PHONOGRAPHY. 

vocalization, and by the introduction of a few new 
and practical expedients, you have a system which 
is capable of doing verbatim reporting, which demands 
the highest degree of excellency and skill. 

I congratulate you upon having so simple a 
system and so light a task as yours will be in mas- 
tering Shorthand. 

This system (unlike the older methods) quickly 
ushers the student from the preliminary to the most 
advanced stages of verbatim reporting by simple 
series of exercises ; thus the mind is not incumbered 
by superfluous detail, in which all other systems in- 
dulge so freely. 

You have my best wishes for your triumphant 
success in the Shorthand profession, which I feel 
confident you will attain after due study. 

I am, respectfully yours, 

ALDIS O. HALL, 

Boston. Mass. 



NEW REVISED EDITION OF 



PRELUDE. 



IMPORTANT. SPECIAL NOTICE. 



New Revised Edition of Hall's "Multum in Parvo !1 Phonography 
is the title of my latest publication of Shorthand. 

n~7HE first appearance of my system of Shorthand in print was 
called " Hall's ' Multum in Parvo ' Phonography." During 
my experience both in the schoolroom and in practical report- 
ing, I have found that the system could be rendered much more 
concise and more rapid by the introduction of new expedients. I 
therefore set myself about revising a system ; and I have, very much 
to my satisfaction, accomplished the result in some degree commen- 
surate with my desire, which I think the Shorthand fraternity will 
not fail to realize and appreciate. The New Revised Edition con- 
tains new principles and practical expedients, together with speci- 
mens of sermons, debates, law reports, and the Official Stenog- 
rapher's Compendium of Law Pnrases, which will be very beneficial 
in their application in every department of verbatim reporting, 
which requires the highest degree of excellency in speed and 
accuracy. While the first edition will be found practicable, the 
New Revised Edition will be found far more complete and more 
specially designed for rapid and accurate work ; yet it is designed 
with special care to be a book amicably adapted for self-instruc- 
tion. It embraces all the fundamental principles from beginning to 
end, and is so simple and so clear that any one of average under- 
standing can quickly and easily master it, and thereby become 
proficient Shorthand writers, capable of doing the most difficult 
work that the most expert stenographer is called upon to perform. 

Respectfully, 

Aldis O. Hall.

INTRODUCTORY. 



NEW REVISED EDITION 



HALL'S -MULTUM IN PARVO" PHONOGRAPHY. 



In this new era of commercial activity, Phonography or Shorthand 
Writing has become indispensable to the enterprising business man, 
who is just beginning to realize how much of his valuable time has 
been wasted in conducting his correspondence in the old way, with 
pen and ink; and the result is a complete revolution from the 
former methods by the introduction of the typewriter and the rapid 
stenographer, who takes his letters in Shorthand as fast as the 
dictater pronounces the words. There has been a great outcry 
during the past few years for a better and more perfect system of 
Shorthand, which could be more easily learned and more practically 
applied than the older methods now generally in use ; that this 
demand has existed for years is tod obvious for discussion at this 
late day. The great percentage of failures of those who have 
attempted the old systems, and of others who have only reached 
moderate success after years of toil, is itself sufficient proof of this 
statement. Many attempts have been made by writers of the old 
Pitmanic systems to alter and transpose certain principles, only to 
gain in some one particular and lose in another, while the whole 
was so illegible that the writer must rely almost entirely upon the 
context and memory to be able to decipher what had been written. 



NEW REVISED EDITION OF 



THE 

NEW REVISED EEITIDN 

OF 

HALL'S "MULTUM IN PflRVO" PHONOGRAPHY 

Is based upon simple principles of brief phonetic writing, and is 
made so clear and legible that the student can easily and readily- 
master it. This system dispenses with the necessity of committing 
to memory hundreds and thousands of arbitrary words and phrase 
signs, which, when once learned, prove a great incumbrance to the 
mind, and in the long run retard progress and render the outlines 
unreliable. It is constructed on a basis of general principles, and 
not a multitudinous compilation of abstract rules and exceptions. 

Thus it can be readily seen that this new system is by far more 
practical and more reliable than any other system extant. 

The alphabet is nearly the same as the Pitmanic systems, and is 
so arranged that any one that writes any of the standard systems 
can quickly and successfully master this new system. By the intro- 
duction of new practical expedients the consonant outlines are 
rendered more than 75 per cent, more concise and more legible 
than any other system of Shorthand now in use. My motto is : 
" So long as I can indulge in brevity and not intrude on legibility, 
the more practical is my system." I have constantly borne in mind 
the all-important factor, Legibility, and in doing this I have not 
forgotten that simplicity is one of the important features indis- 
pensable. 



HALL'S " MULTUM IN PARVO " PHONOGRAPHY. 

New Revised Edition 

OF 

Hall's "Multum in Parvo" Phonography. 



This system is a system of phrasing : thus it dispenses very 
largely, if not wholly, with position and vocalization. We learn 
from experience that a rapid stenographer can easily make three 
well-known strokes in the same time that the pencil can be lifted 
from the paper and placed again in position for the next character ; 
hence, to write phrases that are simple and reliable will much con- 
duce to brevity, is self-evident. 

All persons who have failed to master the old systems may be 
assured of success from the first by inculcating the general principles 
as set forth in this new and practical system of Shorthand. 

It can be learned and put into practical use in one-fourth the 
time required by the old systems. Many stenographers advocate 
the old methods and discard all new systems and modern ideas, 
because the old methods are the standard. It does not necessarily 
follow that the more modern achievements are not the more practi- 
cal because they are not so well known. Old ways of conducting 
business are fast being supplemented by the introduction of briefer 
and more concise methods. Hence, without regard to the standing 
of the older arts and science, it behooves us to accept the combined 
efforts of the ever-persistent and studious inventor, who can boast 
of a more lofty conception of scientific and practical ideas of 
modern ingenuity and skill. Suffice it to say that this is the only 
system of Shorthand that has been introduced to the public which 
embraces all the elements essential to practicability in the various 
classes of successful verbatim reporting.

Exercise 1. 

First learn the consonant alphabet as given on the opposite 
page, and then the principles as given in Exercise i, then turn to 
pages 37 and 38 and read the first Shorthand Exercise. 

1. Words must be spelled as pronounced; all silent letters are 
omitted. Write words as nearly as possible as they are pronounced. 

2. C and the vowels a, e, i, 0, u, w, and y are omitted. Always 
use w when followed by h and a vowel sound, as in when. 

When a vowel sound follows w or y in the same syllable, they are 
consonants ; otherwise they are vowels. 

3. Use j for soft g as in gin, change, manage, etc., s for soft c as 
in city, and k for hard c as in could, ks for x, and kw for q. 

4. When the same sound occurs twice in succession without an 
intervening vowel, use it but once, as ms for miss, ps for pass. This 
applies to words ending with a double consonant. 

5 r / j 

lea rea shea 

are made upward ; all the other consonants are made downward. 
except the horizontal ones made from left to right. 



NEW REVISED EDITION OF 



6. Always use downward /, r, and sh when preceded by a vowel 
in the same syllable, but use the upward /, r, and sh when followed 
by a vowel in the same syllable.

sound in a syllable. Second — when the first consonant in a 
syllable and preceded by a vowel.

VOCALIZATION. 



There are a few words in our language of which one, two, and 
sometimes more syllables are composed entirely of vowel sounds ; 
in such cases it is advisable to insert the proper vowel according to 
the scale' given on the following page, and write the outline in full. 

Provision is made, however/ by the adoption of new principles, 
for the abolishment of vocalization, with the exception of its use: 
occasionally in proper names where silent letters are to be indicated., 
and occasionally in words of foreign derivation. 

Following this is the vowel scale, as most generally used by 
stenographers who indulge in the free use of vocalization. It must 
be remembered that vocalization is not recommended by writers of 
this system, inasmuch as legibility is warranted in the extensive use 
of phrasing, which greatly conduces to speed. 

Phrasing by the old methods has been limited to simple sentences 
composed of short words of frequent occurrence, and in most 
cases it has only been used where individual phrases were memorized, 
a task which is so great that most Shorthand writers do not recom- 
mend its use. 

A proper application of the new and original principles as set 
forth in this new system renders extensive phrasing reliable, and 
experience will prove conclusively its practicability.

NEW REVISED EDITION OF 



VOWELS. 



Vowels are written in three different positions. The first position 
vowel is written at the beginning of a stroke ; the second position 
vowel is written at the middle of a stroke ; and the third position 
vowel is written at the end of a stroke. 

If a vowel precedes the consonant it is written before it, and if it 
follows it is written after it, in its proper position.

SHORTHAND EXERCISES. 



To whom it may concern : 

In submitting these introductory Shorthand Exercises, I desire 
to state, that, the first few subsequent pages are by no mea?is 
specimens of this system in its briefest form. Long outlines must 
be used before the beginner can successfully apply the shorter 
expedients ; therefore, I have aimed to take the student carefully, step 
by step, through the fundamental principles of phonetic writing. 
Having accomplished this, I then introduce the brief principles, all 
of which are entirely new and will be foicnd very practical and 
thoroughly reliable, thus dispensing entirely with vocalization, position, 
and arbitrary word-signs, which renders the work more than fifty 
per cent, briefer, easier, and more accurate.

My Dear Friend : 

In presenting to you this new and rapid system of Shorthand 
I congratulate you upon having a system of Shorthand that can 
be mastered in three months, and especially because when 
mastered you will be able to report verbatim the most difficult 
kind of reportorial matter. In this new system you have simply to 
remember the brief consonant outlines, which is indeed an easy 
task, and learn to apply them quickly. This system does not indulge 
in arbitrary word-signs, neither does it have to depend upon vowels 
in order to make it legible to the writer ; simply by the introduction 
of a few short principles we have a system of Shorthand known as 
"Hall's Multum in Parvo Simplified Phonography," capable of 
doing any kind of verbatim work with ease, and a system that can 
be mastered by any one of ordinary capacity. Now, in this your 
first attempt to read Shorthand, I beg you not to get discouraged if 
you have some difficulty in transcribing this exercise, because you 
will find that every exercise you read and that every principle you 
learn will render your work easier, and will also make your progress 
more apparent and your success more triumphant. You have my 
best wishes for your success, which I am sure you will achieve at no 
far distant day. 

I am, respectfully, 

A. O. HALL, 

Boston, Mass.

HALL'S " MULTUM IN PARVO " PHONOGRAPHY. 

What a Professional Stenographer says about the New Revised 
Edition of Hall's " Multum in Parvo" Phonography. 



The following is from William Whitford, Professional Stenographer, 
No. 94 La Salle Street, Chicago, 111. 

REVIEW. 

In the older text-books on Phonography the student is obliged to 
read page after page of what may be fittingly termed superfluous 
matter in order to imbibe one little point or principle which might 
be expressed in one or two sentences. In the New Revised Edition 
of Hall's " Multum in Parvo " Phonography, however, we find an 
exception. The beginner is taken by a series of exercises and 
practical expedients from the preliminary to the most advanced 
stages of verbatim reporting. Some of the author's expedients are 
so ingenious and practically useful that they may be employed with 
benefit by the most expert stenographer. A noteworthy point is the 
clear presentation of its principles and its apparent ease of acquisi- 
tion. The author shows great familiarity with the modern systems 
of Phonography, and he has digested, simplified, and greatly 
improved upon them. In a word, the cream and pith of several 
systems have been incorporated into his own work, thus making it 
all the more valuable. It is eminently adapted for self-instruction. 
It is a system that I can unhesitatingly recommend to any and all 
who desire to become stenographers. William Whitford. 



Note. — Mr. Whitford is the Official Stenographer for Ten of the 
largest Medical and Scientific Associations in America. 



NEW REVISED EDITION OF 



APPENDIX. 



" Multum in Parvo " (much in little) has been deemed the most 
appropriate term to apply to this system of Shorthand, for two 
reasons : First, because it is the most concise method of Short- 
hand now in use ; this applies especially to the brief and practical 
expedients employed, which constitute in main the system. Second, 
it is a " much in little " because it is put in the briefest possible 
form consistent with simplicity and thoroughness. This Manual 
contains all the fundamental principles and brief expedients essen- 
tial to successful verbatim reporting; by the inculcation of the 
rules as set forth herein, absolute accuracy is assured, and speed 
will only be limited to the skill of the writer in applying them. 

It has been the author's desire to place this valuable art — Short- 
hand — before the public in the most concise form possible, yet not 
to render the work incomprehensible for the sake of indulging in 
brevity. Every principle is liberally illustrated, and is made so 
clear and so simple that any one of average ability and under- 
standing can thoroughly master the art by closely following the 
directions as given herein ; first by applying the elementary prin- 
ciples and thoroughly mastering them, and then advancing step by 
step as the mind is capable of comprehension, until every rule and 
principle can be put into immediate practice without the least 



HALL'S "MULTUM IN PARVO " PHONOGRAPHY. 67 

hesitation ; the stenographer should be as familiar with all the con- 
tractions as the individual consonant strokes ; until this degree of 
proficiency is attained only moderate success can be realized. 

The writer has constantly borne in mind the important factor, 
simplicity, but at the same time has left out all superfluous rules 
and amendments, which are highly conspicuous in other systems, 
and which constitute many pages that are of no practical use in 
reporting. Superfluous detail only renders the work more intricate 
and greatly conduces to discouragement and failure, even to many 
ambitious people, in the struggle of learning Shorthand. 

Shorthand has heretofore been considered a blind and classical 
art, and they who set out to master it have resolved that they must 
spend months, and even years, in memorizing arbitrary word-signs 
and abstract rules, and familiarizing themselves with thousands of 
expedients before they could expect to do ordinary amanuensis 
work. 

Shorthand may well be termed the "Queen of Arts;" it is 
indeed a marvellous science when we consider its capabilities as 
well as its practicability ; and there has been a long-felt need of a 
more simplified method of acquiring it than by the method now 
generally in use. It should be and can be so simple and so compre- 
hensive that a child can master it and successfully use it in every- 
day life. 

The philosophy of sound is of itself a deep study, and only those 
of matured reason can expect to understand its laws and functions. 
The relation of words and sentences to each other is in itself 
another branch separate and distinct from Phonography. 

The stenographer, by the old method, has been obliged to fathom 
the philosophy and logic of these various sciences, which are each 
in themselves a separate department in the great world of classical 



68 NEAV REVISED EDITION OF HALL'S "MULTUM IN PARVO" PHONOGRAPHY. 

education ; but Phonography by this new method is so simplified 
and rendered so easy that the art can easily be acquired in a limited 
time by any one of average aptitude and capability. 

Shorthand is a study which every young man and woman should 
thoroughly master, for several reasons. First, it greatly conduces in 
the saving of time, and it largely facilitates in the aid of detail 
work of everyday life, in whatever vocation the master of the art 
may follow. Second, it affords one of the best mental trainings of 
any science in two respects : it teaches one to be absolutely correct, 
which is a very important element in any department of life, and it 
tends to quicken the mind and to lift it into a higher sphere of 
reason and activity. 

As an accomplishment alone Shorthand is worth more than the 
time and money expended in acquiring it. As a means of support 
thousands of young people have been placed on the high road to 
success through the valuable acquisition of Shorthand.
